Twin Peaks Middle School
Weekly RAM Newsletter
A Brief Note from Dr. Burke
Dear Ram families,
I hope you enjoyed your week off from school. With roughly 3 months of school left, the year will go by pretty quickly from here on out. This week we have our Wind Ensemble concert on Tuesday night in the MPR at 6pm. On Wednesday during both lunches we have our career fair in the quad and our Pre-Festival Band Concert at 6pm at the Poway Center for Performing Arts. The Wind Ensemble Pre-Festival Concert is on Thursday - same time and place. The actual Music Festival takes place on Sunday, March 1st starting at 4pm in the PCPA. Finally, the Lip Sync Applications are due on Friday to Ms. Keller.
I want to send a heartfelt thank you to all of you who provided input for our LCAP Plan via Thoughtexchange. Please know that we are reading your comments and will continue to use them as we strive to build a better Twin Peaks. Speaking of a better Twin Peaks, our Foundation Red Envelope Fundraiser brought in over $4,000 and we are using the money to purchase a hydration station to be installed near the PE area and 5 bikes for the Exercise Science Lab.
Our No Place for Hate committee members have been working hard to prepare for our presentations starting in RAM classes this week. The first activity is titled “The Pyramid of Hate”. TPMS students will have the opportunity in their RAM class to discuss the different levels and examples of the pyramid of hate and what actions they can take every day to interrupt the escalation of hate and support a more inclusive learning environment at TPMS. We encourage you to explore the power point lesson and talk with your student about their thoughts on the presentation.
In closing our PTSA needs you! It's not too late to become a member and anyone can join. It’s quick and easy. Adult and student memberships are only $10. Please click here to join online or print out our membership form on our website.
I look forward to seeing all our students tomorrow, and remember, it's a 5/1/3.
Sincerely,
Dr. Burke
